Treyarch is trolling Black Ops Cold War leakers in the best way possible TreyarchLeakers are a godsend for players, but they can be a nuisance for developers. Treyarch has taken matters into their own hands and trolled Black Ops Cold War leakers with an absolute classic. [jwplayer KfbNyXWJ] Leakers are the dark knights of the gaming world. They\u2019re the heroes we need but don\u2019t deserve, and the watchful lurkers and not-so-silent explorers of our favorite game\u2019s data, including Black Ops Cold War. But while their efforts are a godsend to players, they\u2019re a nuisance to the developers who work hard to create and update the games we all love to play. Still, there\u2019s nothing developers can do about it, and that\u2019s fine. They\u2019re certainly not complaining. But in a game of cat and mouse, sometimes the cats like to play with their prey, and that\u2019s exactly what Treyarch did. Data miners and leakers found some interesting tidbits hidden in the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War executable file. It had a series of odd-looking links that lead people straight to Rick Astley\u2019s infamous \u201cNever Gonna Give You Up\u201d music video on YouTube. That\u2019s right, folks. Treyarch rickrolled them all. Fun fact: looking through the COD Cold War .exe, you will find a couple Rick Roll links \ud83d\ude42 pic.twitter.com\/5BBNhnjUc5 \u2014 Saturn (@prSaturn) October 17, 2020 Treyarch\u2019s rickroll is a classic Rickrolling is one of the oldest internet pranks and memes. Simply put, it happens when someone sends out a masked link that tricks people into seeing the video of the hilarious and catchy eighties jam. Treyarch \u2018disguised\u2019 some of the most popular configs, like god mode and what Season 1 could look like in a \u201ctest.txt\u201d file. It might be nothing more than simple bait and switch, but it sure is effective, and the reactions are priceless. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has been subject to a number of massive leaks. They revealed a workaround to the dropshotting nerf, as well as every map that would be included in the beta. It goes without saying that we owe leakers a lot for their hard work, and it\u2019s not like they\u2019re breaking any rules. But it\u2019s nice to see developers like Treyarch hit back once in a while, and it\u2019s even better when they\u2019re good sports about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
